    Lovely atmosphere, beautiful and massive Amazing park for kids of all ages Baby swings, toddler section and then big climbing structures for big kids/teenagers. Well equipped and stunning on the farther side with a beautiful pond/body of water. Highly recommended as one of Glasgows best parks.

    Rouken Glen Park is great for a morning stroll or indeed to get some decent steps in. It has Boaters Cafe/Restaurant which serves great food. There is also a kiosk where you can buy snacks and ice cream. At the bottom of the park there is a huge adventure playground. Great day out for all the family.

    Nice park with a pond with a small metal skate park. Also, a nice walk through the woods to a scenic waterfall. It also has a great playground. Restrooms are clean, and the playground is well looked after.

    Rouken Glen Park has everything what a park can have have from easy parking, park or wooded areas for walks, kids play area, waterfall and duck pond, public toilets, plus a nice cafe next to the pond. After being in Lockdown for 12 months in 2021, it was good to get out and about, and we decided to go to Rouken Glen Park with my family. Fantastic large park with plenty of space to keep social distancing, with a large play area, and plenty of land to walk around. We wandered up to the duck pond, and then walked back via the woodland walk, which was really nice and my family absolutely loved it. There are few benches where you can sit and have picnic but not enough for the size of the park.Β  There are also some ice cream vans where you can get a coffee and a ice cream. Will almost certainly be back here again in future.

    Love this place always brings me inner zen. Cracking waterfall especially after it's been raining. Swans hanging out with their 7 signets at the duck pond. Through the day it's always busy lots of different paths and can get an ice cream and food next to the duck pond too. Skate park and HUGE swing park available for all ages.

    It is an amazing park for walking, cycling, and playing. The stunning views on the walkway of the waterfalls, river side walkways, and resting places along the way. Has a huge pond where you can feed the ducks. A pavilion to get good and ice-creams, picnic area and rest rooms. Really dog friendly. Also has 2 play parks and plenty of parking options.

    Great place. Nice area to walk round. You can walk various directions and as long or as brief as you like. Nice paths to walk on however their is areas that are a bit rougher under foot but easy enough to avoid

  • 5/5 Robert W. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want to catch photos of a countryside waterfall, then this is the place to visit in the heavy rain is best! For others there is the cafe by the pond, the children's play area, the exercise circuit as well as skate board area tennis and table tennis facilties as well as countryside park land. Free parking.

    Great outdoor park and walk , there is a play area for kids outdoors with accessibility swings etc , a garden centre to pop into and a little walk up to the pond where you'll see some swans all year round. There is also a little cafe by the pond for lunch/cakes. Lovely place for a nice walk with family/friends/dogs.

    Next to Lynn Park and Pollok Park one of my favourite parks in the Southside of Glasgow. I love a park with a bit of water, of which this park has plenty: The Auldhouse Burn is a small river-like running water with water falls and all. When you walk along it, you forget that you are in the city. The other more city-park-like part of the park has a pond. The park also has a huge playground for kids.

    Great park. Lovely play park with fun and inventive pirate themed play areas. Loads of swings for both babies and bigger kids. Great walks in the park and a beautiful pond and waterfall. There is also a cafe by the pond where you can get coffee, tea, ice cream and food etc. very good service and prices!

  • 5/5 Jennifer F. 5 months ago on Google
    Great park to walk dogs as long as you wear a pair of wellies when it’s muddy. Much bigger than you think, along the waterfall and down to the woodlands is a very nice walk. Lots of exercise in lovely woodlands surroundings

  • 3/5 Jonathan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to visit with or without kids, plenty open space and play parks.

  • 5/5 Lynda Chisholm nee A. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one amazing park . So many woodland and river walks, a lovely waterfall all alive with wildlife. 3 different eateries and more in summer time. Children's bouncy castle and rides, a lovely big pond alive with wildlife too. There's an Indian restaurant, a big garden center, a football center for all ages, a vets practice and if your dog is muddy you can hose him down with the free use of a hose on the side of the vets building. Next to the hose there is an enclosed area where you could do a bit of training for your dog too .

  • 5/5 Patrick Mag U. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great place to take your kids and get them some fresh air. There is plenty of walking options as well as a bigger kids play area which can get busy. There is a decent sized pond and with that a mixture of birds which regularly visit our call this place home. On the day we visited, the eating places were closed but looked inviting. There is also a garden centre here which is well worth a visit.

    A very beautiful park. The pond and the forested paths are especially lovely places to walk through, especially on a snowy day.
